John Kerry (D).But Brown spokeswoman Gail Gitcho warned it will not help.If anybody knows anything about being Swiftboated, its Scott Brown, Gitcho said. The Democrats ran ugly ads and mail against him filled with flat-out lies. None of the groups now lobbying for his vote came to his defense during the campaign that was fueled by left-wing special interests.
